Texas is weird.

So... are there like, auditors? Does the government pay someone to go around and inventory peoples' sex toys? Do you have to register your devices? Are they serialized? Do you have to report them on your state tax return?

Who are these ~~people~~ whackjobs that spend so much time thinking about what other people are doing in their bedrooms?

Besides banning the sale of sex toys, the Texas Obscenity Statute also specified the number of “obscene devices”—for example, dildos—a person could own: six. The number was not chosen at random, but rather because lawmakers assumed that people who owned more than six obscene devices that were identical or similar had the intent to distribute them.

Theoretically, it should be possible to have more than six obscene devices without by guilty of intending to supply them - cock ring, butt plug, fleshlight, dildo, strap-on, inflatable sheep, Ben Wa balls, nipple clamps and penis cage. All have different uses, all without intending to supply.

If supply was the concern (although I don't know why), perhaps criminalise that not the bottom drawer of my bedside table.

Fine. I'm a defender of gun rights. No more than six or you intend to distribute. Let's rock.

Policemen Josh and Wade showing up to a party:

Josh: "Alright Wade, let's make sure there are not more than 6 erections in there."

The lawmakers are afraid of the competition

Need to make a proposal to limit cross walls to a maximum of 6 crosses.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 14 points 4 days ago

IANAL, but this law is (probably) not currently enforceable due to (among others) Lawrence v. Texas.

However, that was explicitly named as being on the chopping block, so at best it's "not enforceable yet"
